I popped into my local casino once again and sat down at a loose donkfest 10-handed 1/2NL table. Just a few minutes into the game, i got dealt KK in BB and reraise up to $60 against some loose 7.5x opener and a cold caller. Both folded, i was a sad panda and not happy with my 3 bet sizing at all. So i continued folding 90% of hands and nobody paid attention to it :P A few orbits later, an old guy opened $5 in UTG, hero picked up :Kh: :Kc: in UTG 2 and popped up to $25. Oh, shit! some middle-aged guy cold called in MP and one sunglasses also called on BT. UTG called of course. Middle-aged guy is unknown. sunglasses is a 2/5 NL regular and plays a bit semi-loose passive in general.
stack size: UTG: $350 hero: $225 middle-aged guy: $180 sunglasses: $400
flop($100): :Qh: :Td: UTG checked, hero bet $75, middle-aged shoved, sunglasses shoved, UTG folds, hero ? Their range were too wide for me to narrow down cuz these live pp could call with anything really.

I'm getting it in. Surely their ranges contain loads of Qs, Js and flush draws that your a pretty big favourite against (and hold some blockers against).

Actually, i think that an underbet like $35-50 is the best option here so that We could still fold to crazy actions :P I just made my commitment decision by tossing 3 green chips into the pot, thinking that i'd go all the way with this on the flop.

You are putting in another $80 to win $410, i.e., you are getting just over 4 to 1 on your call. It looks to me like you are committed but if someone can show me a stove as to how you are less than 20 percent to win this pot, then sure, fold it.

And I like the idea of underbetting. Even something like $50 (half the pot) leaves you a lot less pot-committed on a wet board here.
